Masters of the Bench

Derek Jacobi has been an actor for over 60 years, first performing Hamlet in public at the Edinburgh Festival when he was 17 years old. He has performed Hamlet around the world nearly 600 times, from the LA Olympics, to Kronberg Castle. A multiple award winner, he was also knighted by the Queen of Denmark, making him the only living actor to be a double knight!

His interests are gardening and fine wines, both of which he thoroughly enjoys!
